Shark Fin Soup
This article shows a different perspective on the efforts to stop killing sharks for the traditional shark fin soup. The article explains how fins are sold within the states and around the world, including the price, which at its highest can be up to $2,200 per pound. There have been bans put on finning as well as trading. The article was helpful in understanding finning. its cruelty and effect on sharks. It provides links to helpful documents and bills that explain current conditions and what can be done to help.
The interesting twist in this article is its focus, which is on a chef who has made an effort to find a substitute for the delicacy. Understanding that it is a tradition, he has gone to great lengths to find something suitable for the dish. This is one of the first attempts to adjust the issue at hand rather then eliminate shark fin soup altogether. This allows for others to pursue this idea and maybe come up with a compromise for both sides.
